ABOUT THE JOURNAL

Brief History

 

The journal Pandaemonium Germanicum, published since 1997 by the German Area of the Department of Modern Letters of the FFLCH/USP and the Post-Graduate Program in German Language and Literature, comprehends itself as a forum of academic discussion in the Germanistic field covering: German language literature, compared literature and cultural studies related to German-speaking countries, German linguistics, applied and contrastive linguistics (Portuguese/German), teaching of German as a foreign/additional language, and studies on translation logic.

 

 

Open Access Policy

 

According to the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science (2022, p. 7), "open science is defined as an inclusive construct that combines various movements and practices that aim to make multilingual scientific knowledge openly available, accessible and reusable for all, and to increase scientific collaborations and information sharing for the benefit of science and society".

Considering the particularities of German Studies in Brazil, Pandaemonium Germanicum adopts the following principles of Open Science:

  • Open access to all published articles;
  • Free submission of manuscripts, no fees required;
  • Possibility of publishing articles in several languages (Portuguese, German, Spanish, English);
  • Support for early career researchers by not requiring a minimum degree for article submission;
  • Equal opportunities for authors from groups traditionally underrepresented due to gender, nationality or socio-economic circumstances, among others; 
  • Sustainability of publishing practices by investing in the training of grant holders and interns. 
  • The journal Pandaemonium Germanicum complies with the main guidelines of open science and adopts its practices in its publishing and evaluation process. Among them, we highlight that the journal is in the process of implementing preprints deposited on known servers, as well as informed peer review. 
  • In the future, the Scielo Open Science Compliance Form will be made available.

Editorial Policy

Preprints

 

The journal switched to continuous flow publication in 2024. In order to encourage dissemination and communication in the field of science and open science practices, the use of preprints deposited on reliable and widely accepted servers will begin to apply from January 2025, following the recommendations of SciELO and the policy of the Open Science Framework (OSF).

 

 

Peer Review Process

 

The standard form of evaluation adopted by the journal is double-blind. 

The journal is implementing the use of preprints. As in the case of preprints it is not possible to guarantee the anonymity of the authors, the evaluation can also be single-blind or open.

In this case, we opted to open up some data, such as information about the section editors, whose names are published in each article. 

The editors' contributions are duly credited in the published article. Reviewers receive a statement of opinion on the manuscript and can also validate the activity in Publons or Reviewer Credit.

 

Open Data

 

The journal Pandaemonium Germanicum encourages the sharing of data, codes, methods and other materials used and resulting from research, which are usually underlying the texts of articles. 

The journal is gradually implementing the "TOP” Guidelines for Promoting Transparency in Journals. In addition, we are considering using the SciELO Data repository as a database.

 

 

Fees

Some examples of quotes

Direct quotation with three lines or less

Bornheim (1992:57) further states: "Assim, a plasticidade do texto compõe-se juntamente com os recursos de que lança mão a encenação."

Indirect quote

For the German playwright and director Bertolt Brecht (1967), theatre should not provide only the sensations and the impulses that are allowed by its historical context […].

Quote with more than three lines

In this sense, [...] Henry Giroux (apud RAJAGOPALAN 2003: 105) argues that

Ensinar, nos termos de Freire, não é simplesmente estar em sala de aula, mas estar na história, na esfera mais ampla de um imaginário político que oferece aos educadores a oportunidade de uma enorme coleção de campos para mobilizar conhecimentos e desejos que podem levar a mudanças significativas na minimalização do grau de opressão na vida das pessoas.
